Frank Details – False Pretences/Strangers On A Train 7″

Arty and a little twisted but of course great UK punk. Can’t decide which I like the best False Pretences which is the obvious hit with it’s full on force punk sound. Or Strangers On A Train with it’s pulsating and aggressive steady beat. I tend to spin Strangers… a lot more. I love sleeves like this who don’t reveal how the record sounds. It’s ugly and boring but coupled with how the record actually sounds it makes you feel like you’ve discovered something great that other people would miss cause of the design of it.

Last I looked, band member Furzer was married to a woman who’s just one of THE most adorable people on the planet. Like or loathe the Frank Details record (I like it) I defy anyone to not fall in love within 5 seconds. (Chris, you’d back me up on this, right?)

Hey Richard, Pete is in Nottingham. Got a letter from him the other day. He seems good. Getting older. As are we all. Listened to the 2 tracks. Really good. Shame I didn’t keep the record. Oh well. Nice to be able to listen to them again. Bit of Petes secret life.

Hi Andy, you probably won’t remember me! we worked together at GEC Avionics in the 80’s. you gave me a 45 of false pretences & strangers on a train which is safely boxed up in my loft. saw you do a solo gig at the minstrel in maidstone around the same time (87)
